Your suggestion helped me figure what was wrong. I'm feeling very
stupid now: I hadn't created the binarised-model directory, and I
guess processPhraseTableMin is slightly lacking in this kind of
robustness--no offence meant, you making this tool available is much,
much appreciated.

This is a good thing, since the phrase-table is almost 3 GB gzipped.

Thank you, and sorry,
Valmi

You are welcome.
You are also welcome to improve robustness. :)

Hi,

I am attempting to use the binary release 3 moses as a service. Recent
discussion indicates that mosesserver is depreciated and that moses
--server should be used instead. However, running 'moses --server
--server-port 1234 -f phrase-model/moses.ini' complains about illegal
switches.

So I looked at mosseserver. It complains about libxmlrpc libraries (*.so.7)
not being found. So I installed the libxmlrpc-c++ package (1.33.06) and
made soft links from the so.8 libs to so.7 so that mosesserver can load the
library (figuring that the functionality/interface was the same).

However, moseserver seg faults, when called with 'mosesserver --server-port
1234 -f phrase-model/moses.ini'. Does anyone know where/how to get
libxmlrpc libraries required by moses release 3.0 or otherwise make moses
as a service w/o having to re-build it? I'm using Ubunut 14.04.

If all else fails I can use moses' stdio but I was hoping to get this
working. Thank you for your time.

- Kwame

Hi Kwame

The --server switch was introduced post v3, so you would have to use
current master if you want to go down that route. However you will still
hit the xmlrpc issues.

Probably there's a reason for the version number change from 7 to 8, and
you've just hit the incompatibility. Make sure you build and run against
the same version of xmlrpc-c - we're using 1.16.33 which is probably
old, but works.

cheers - Barry

Subject: [Moses-support] lattice MBR - what happened to my nbest

Hi,

I?ve been attempting to experiment with lattice MBR with various settings and I see something weird happen to my nbest lists:

0 ||| the prime ministers of india and japan meet in tokyo ||| Distortion0= ? etc etc becomes

0 ||| the prime ministers of india and japan meet in tokyo ||| map: 0 w: 12 11.19 8.06 6.63 5.39

My feature weights get replaced by map and w feature with 5 weights

I?m setting the following as moses.ini parameters:
lminimum-bayes-risk
lmbr-p
lmbr-r
mbr-scale
lmbr-pruning-factor

Anything extra that I need to know as far as what map and w are, or how to get my normal features back in the nbest list?

Thanks!
-Jeremy
